Ever had the urge to touch someone's hair

[brg240]

Well have you?

I do occasionally. Sometimes I see ya'lls lush hair and I want to feel it. I wonder if it's cottony or sleek feeling. I'd like to touch some people with type 1 or 2 hair as well, does it feel like barbie hair? . I've never felt it before. :/
I think besides my family I haven't felt anyone's hair. I wasn't one of those girls that played in and did their friends' hair. No one touched my hair either.

I probably never will because I'm not into invading people's space but I want too.

lol sorry for the random thread.

LOL I have! I was talking to my friend she has very straight type one hair and I was talking to her from the side so I was starring at her hair and I just got the urge to touch it, So I asked if I can and she said yeah so I did hahaha. It does kinda feel like Barbie doll hair now that I think of it, like brand new barbie doll hair, or one of those Bratz doll heads.

Also there is this girl that was in one of my classes she has like really curly blonde hair it's like 3b or c but it's not silky it's like cottony (shes mixed she has that texture that a lot of mixed kids have if that helps) and I always have the urge to touch her hair. Sadly I don't know her well so it would be weird to ask if I can touch her hair hahaha

Nope.

I have. I have a white male friend who has shoulder length hair. He takes care of his hair like us LHCF girls. His hair is so incredibly healthy and silky I had this urge to touch it, so I playfully messed in it - then i braided it. ...thats another story.

Anyhow, It's strange how sometimes hair has this appeal that you want to feel the texture and such. It's awesome.

If I saw Curly Nikki in person, it would take serious will power to keep from feeling up her hair.

I was opn the escalaters goin into the tube station once .I wanted to weave check this woman who was like 2 people in front of me... but i thought she just might be the one to turn around and box me down.

I've been in awe of many heads, but I've never had the urge to reach out and touch one...

Yes, this girl in Banana Republic on Saturday. Looks like she'd just got out of somebody's chair and it was black, blinging and swinging. She caught me staring and rolled her silly eyes.

Lately I want to feel somebody anybody else ends to see if how my ends compare to theirs. Or how does my shaft of my hair compares to someone else. I only had my little niece around when I had the shaft thought so I ran my fingers through hers to see. She has 2C, hers is much more silkier. So my next thought is it possible for my hair to feel like that? So I added shea butter to my hair, so yes it felt like that but hum greasy - no thanks.

never had the urge to touch someone's hair but i have had the urge to take a picture of a patient's hair. her hair was MBL and GORGEOUS!!!! even her new growth. she had a color in it and it still looked fabulous. i was dying to ask her who cares for her hair but she was on a stretcher and i knew she would give me the side eye if i asked about her hair....lol

I have had the urge often. There are just some women that have hair that needs to be touched but I resist because some people are just violent lol and I can't go down like that.

I grew up with a lot of white people but I don't remember touching their hair. I don't think they had a problem with it but my mom always told me not to touch anybody's hair "you don't know what's in it". And you know how sensitive black people can be about their hair. My husband who's white tells me occasionally about this black girl he went to school with that used to sit behind him in class and run her fingers through his hair. He said he didn't mind, he would just let her do it. She said she liked the way it felt. When we were dating, my daughter would do the same thing. She would even try to braid it. He would just sit and let her try to no avail. He laughs about how serious we" black women" are about our hair.

Most people probably wouldn't mind. If there's someone you feel comfortable with, I would compliment their hair and ask if they mind if you touch it. Men especially won't mind, black,white whatever. I think they like that.

My weird hair touching situation: I met this lady at a friend's house one day. We were introduced and about 10 minutes later I felt somebody's fingers on my scalp. And I knew it wasn't one of her kids. I turned around and it was this lady(black woman) I had JUST met. Then before I asked her what she was doing, she said "I was just trying to see if it was real." What was she gonna do if it wasn't? My hair was BSL at the time. I guess she didn't know black people can grow hair too.

In my home, we have 2a-husband, 2a,b-daughter and son, 3b-son, 4b daughter and myself. So Ive pretty much felt it all. They all feel nice. Hair is nice!

erplexed Hummm....i work with a brotha that has mbl relaxed hair that he keeps in a braided pony tail every day. Unfortunately the top portion is cut too short to fit in his pony tail and is forever sticking up. Everyday I want to "pat" it back into place cuz it drives me nuts to see it sticking up here there and everywhere. I've told him to fix his hair 50-11 times but its always sticking up. He's like a little brotha to me so sometimes i just want to yell at him or take a comb to it and fix it myself.....does that count????

 

[mscocoface]

Urge yes, actually do it. Only with friends and family who I love and know and have given me permission to do so.

 

[iri9109]

i get the urge to do it but i never do unless i have permission...ppl touch my hair all the time w/o asking and hate it...my little sister's best friend has these gorgeous ringlets that i find my hands in all the time but i ask her 1st

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

Yess. I love playing in people's hair, as long as it's clean.
In high school, I was totally the hair monster...always playing in someone's hair. But I never touched anyone without asking first. That's the kind of thing that got you slapped when I was a kid. And not even by a parent...the child you touched would slap you herself.

So I don't understand how so many people think it's okay to just be touching on other folks without express permission.

Touching someone's hair is invading their space. I don't even like female family members to do it. Sometimes family will do it without permission and that irks me. I think you should ask 1st even if it is family or friends. The only time I don't mind is if a guy I'm dating does it. No permission necessary in that case.
